+## Centralized Competitor Data
+
+Create a single source of truth for each competitor:
+
+```
+competitor_data/
+├── notion.md
+├── airtable.md
+├── monday.md
+└── ...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Competitor Data Template
+
+Per competitor, document:
+
+```yaml
+name: Notion

+  time_estimate: "1-3 days for small team"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Your Product Data
+
+Same structure for yourself—be honest:
+
+```yaml
+name: [Your Product]
+# ... same fields
+
+strengths:
+  - [Your real strengths]
+
+weaknesses:
+  - [Your honest weaknesses]
+
+best_for:
+  - [Your ideal customers]
+
+not_ideal_for:
+  - [Who should use something else]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Page Generation
+
+Each page pulls from centralized data:
+
+- **[Competitor] Alternative page**: Pulls competitor data + your data
+- **[Competitor] Alternatives page**: Pulls competitor data + your data + other alternatives
+- **You vs [Competitor] page**: Pulls your data + competitor data
+- **[A] vs [B] page**: Pulls both competitor data + your data
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Update competitor pricing once, updates everywhere
+- Add new feature comparison once, appears on all pages
+- Consistent accuracy across pages
+- Easier to maintain at scale
+
+---
+
+## Index Page Structure
+
+### Alternatives Index
+
+**URL**: `/alternatives` or `/alternatives/index`
+
+**Purpose**: Lists all "[Competitor] Alternative" pages
+
+**Page structure**:
+1. Headline: "[Your Product] as an Alternative"
+2. Brief intro on why people switch to you
+3. List of all alternative pages with:
+   - Competitor name/logo
+   - One-line summary of key differentiator vs. that competitor
+   - Link to full comparison
+4. Common reasons people switch (aggregated)
+5. CTA
+
+**Example**:
+```markdown
+## Explore [Your Product] as an Alternative
+
+Looking to switch? See how [Your Product] compares to the tools you're evaluating:
+
+- **[Notion Alternative](/alternatives/notion)** — Better for teams who need [X]
+- **[Airtable Alternative](/alternatives/airtable)** — Better for teams who need [Y]
+- **[Monday Alternative](/alternatives/monday)** — Better for teams who need [Z]
+```
+
+---
+
+### Vs Comparisons Index
+
+**URL**: `/vs` or `/compare`
+
+**Purpose**: Lists all "You vs [Competitor]" and "[A] vs [B]" pages
+
+**Page structure**:
+1. Headline: "Compare [Your Product]"
+2. Section: "[Your Product] vs Competitors" — list of direct comparisons
+3. Section: "Head-to-Head Comparisons" — list of [A] vs [B] pages
+4. Brief methodology note
+5. CTA
+
+---
+
+### Index Page Best Practices
+
+**Keep them updated**: When you add a new comparison page, add it to the relevant index.
+
+**Internal linking**:
+- Link from index → individual pages
+- Link from individual pages → back to index
+- Cross-link between related comparisons
+
+**SEO value**:
+- Index pages can rank for broad terms like "project management tool comparisons"
+- Pass link equity to individual comparison pages
+- Help search engines discover all comparison content
+
+**Sorting options**:
+- By popularity (search volume)
+- Alphabetically
+- By category/use case
+- By date added (show freshness)
+
+**Include on index pages**:
+- Last updated date for credibility
+- Number of pages/comparisons available
+- Quick filters if you have many comparisons
+
+---
+
+## Footer Navigation
+
+The site footer appears on all marketing pages, making it a powerful internal linking opportunity for competitor pages.
+
+### Option 1: Link to Index Pages (Minimum)
+
+At minimum, add links to your comparison index pages in the footer:
+
+```
+Footer
+├── Compare
+│   ├── Alternatives →  /alternatives
+│   └── Comparisons →  /vs
+```
+
+This ensures every marketing page passes link equity to your comparison content hub.
+
+### Option 2: Footer Columns by Format (Recommended for SEO)
+
+For stronger internal linking, create dedicated footer columns for each format you've built, linking directly to your top competitors:
+
+```
+Footer
+├── [Product] vs               ├── Alternatives to            ├── Compare
+│   ├── vs Notion              │   ├── Notion Alternative     │   ├── Notion vs Airtable
+│   ├── vs Airtable            │   ├── Airtable Alternative   │   ├── Monday vs Asana
+│   ├── vs Monday              │   ├── Monday Alternative     │   ├── Notion vs Monday
+│   ├── vs Asana               │   ├── Asana Alternative      │   ├── ...
+│   ├── vs Clickup             │   ├── Clickup Alternative    │   └── View all →
+│   ├── ...                    │   ├── ...                    │
+│   └── View all →             │   └── View all →             │
+```
+
+**Guidelines**:
+- Include up to 8 links per column (top competitors by search volume)
+- Add "View all" link to the full index page
+- Only create columns for formats you've actually built pages for
+- Prioritize competitors with highest search volume
+
+### Why Footer Links Matter
+
+1. **Sitewide distribution**: Footer links appear on every marketing page, passing link equity from your entire site to comparison content
+2. **Crawl efficiency**: Search engines discover all comparison pages quickly
+3. **User discovery**: Visitors evaluating your product can easily find comparisons
+4. **Competitive positioning**: Signals to search engines that you're a key player in the space
+
+### Implementation Notes
+
+- Update footer when adding new high-priority comparison pages
+- Keep footer clean—don't list every comparison, just the top ones
+- Match column headers to your URL structure (e.g., "vs" column → `/vs/` URLs)
+- Consider mobile: columns may stack, so order by priority
